Results and Analysis
Conclusions
Abstract: This poster describes the circuit design and operation of a 5GHz operational amplifier. This integrated circuit is targeted for military applications in harsh environments. Modeling and experiments demonstrate the opamp’s consistent performance over a spectrum of mission requirements.
Linear operation from DC to 5Ghz
Frequency degradation observed at temperatures above 100C
No single event latchup observed
Modeling agreed with experimental data within 10 percent
New opamp enables high bandwidth operation in harsh environments
New opamp in service for five years on the ULTF Program
No operational upsets
Continued performance within original specifications
Introduction and Motivation
